It can be done. The standard calls for an additional AC3 stream to be offered when TrueHD is being used - I just looked it up, and I made a mistake - it's not a core as in DTS but apparently an independent track. So one way or another, ther IS an AC3 stream already present which *can* be extracted. ...
Okay, I just noticed an error on my part. Previously (with an older version of ffmpeg but one that already supported trueHD I would get an error about TrueHD not being able to get decoded. When I didn't get any trueHD sound with the new ffmpeg build I assumed I had the same error - huge mistake. Aft...
Hi guys, I've got a bit of a compiling-marathon behind me today having built the latest (fresh from svn) ffmpeg, x264, mplayer, smplayer and VLC (VLC 1.1.0 nightly from 5/2/10 as it was the latest one available that would compile). I got everything to work just as I wanted but one thing gives me hea...
Thanks, I'll remember that when I run into some breakage. But I have to say I tried at least 100 different video clips today with many different codec combinations and couldn't find any problems.
Just asking: What exactly are the problems one can run into? I have enabled the repo yesterday as a new source for ffmpeg for my custom builds of VLC-git. Everything works as it should. I guess the breakages and bugs occur when ffmpeg from this repo is used with the VLC version supplied by Ubuntu?
Okay, I found the affecting commit: http://repo.or.cz/w/vlc.git/commitdiff/cc2b055b610e849ac1df3686510bec7df7fa145e I downloaded mmx.h from git, placed it in my /vlc-1.1.0-git/modules/video_filter directory and vlc built just fine again. somehow the mmx.h didn't make it from git into the right folde...
Hi guys, the last version of VLC-1.1.0 (taken from the nightlies' download section) I've been able to build was from the 13th of January. I didn't try all builds between then and now but for a few days building stops on Ubuntu Lucid Alpha with the following errors: CC libdeinterlace_plugin_la-deinte...
xdg-screensaver (part of xdg-utils in Ubuntu 9.10) is installed (ver. 1.0.2-6.1). I don't seem to be able to find a corresponding -dev package, though - but I didn't get any errors regarding XDG during ./configure so I don't think that matters.
I too experience screensaver issues on Ubuntu 9.10 with todays nightly (it's the first of the 1.10-branch I've tried): VLC doesn't seem to inhibit the screensaver whereas 1.0.4 works as it should. Any ideas? I know it could be nothing being a product of ongoing development but I wanted to mention it...
Okay, so I played around with the audio-output and here's what I've found: if I disable audio entirely (by using the according checkbox in VLC's settings) MP3-files play just fine - except for of course me not hearing anything. If I enable audio and select any of the audio modules (Alsa, OSS, Pulse)...
by bugging file you mean upload the compiled libvlccore.so.2.0.0 library? I will also try changing the audio output modules but I kinda depend on ALSA for S/PDIF passthrough.
Here's a funny thing: I recompiled VLC enabling debugging and guess what? It works like it should! So I recompiled it again for the umpteenth time, again without debugging functions (a plain ./ configure without specifically enabling or disabling anything) to try and reproduce the previous error and...
Hi guys! After having successfully tested the pre-1 and pre-2 versions I'm currently trying to get the RC to work. I'm compiling on Ubuntu 8.10 with the standard Ubuntu-devel-packages (all deps but one unrelated one are resolved). The new 1.0.0-RC1 compiles just fine but when I run it and play an MP...
